 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Healthgrades. Great surgeon and person
I recently responded to the Valley Hospital Emergency Room with abdominal pain. I soon learned that my gall bladder would have to be removed. Fortunately for me, I was referred to Dr Christoudias. He ensured that he and his team would treat me in a timely manner and take care of all of my medical needs. He, Dr Marta, and their team were kind, considerate, caring, and professional. Took the time to explain the procedure and had great “bedside manner”. May nobody ever need a surgeon, but if you do - I highly recommend Dr Christoudias, Dr. Marta, and their team

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Healthgrades. I could not be more pleased with Dr. C & his staff. Having undergone a pretty big surgery I was extremely nervous. Dr. C made me feel comfortable from our first consultation and I knew he'd take care of me. I'm now about a month post op & Dr. C has taken time to explain my recovery and answer all my concerns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My quality of life has greatly change because of you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Healthgrades. Dr. C did a great job of discussing my condition and how it was affecting my body. Surgery was straightforward and uneventful. Lost 12lbs due to diet change, but he said that is normal. Feel much better now on low fat diet, look better too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Healthgrades. I cannot possibly say enough good things about Dr. Christoudias to do him justice. He performed surgery on me about 5 years ago on what I thought was a recurring pressure sore on my buttocks. When I got out of surgery he told me that it was a lymphocele. A torn lymph node, and for that reason I never would have stopped getting these sores without surgery to repair it. Over the past 5 years, Dr Christoudias has had me have 3 scans to make sure the lymphocele has not returned. A few weeks ago, I went for a visit, and he told me that as far as he is concerned, I should never have another problem with this issue. Dr. Christoudias has ALWAYS taken the time to answer any questions I have had, He has ALWAYS been nothing but positive and reassuring. I can't thank Dr. Christoudias enough for what he has done for me. Although he has officially discharged me, I am keeping his number on file, and if a problem should arise, he is my first call. I would recommend him to ANYONE!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Vitals. I went to Dr. Christoudias after it was determined I had an inguinal hernia, but both my primary care physician & the surgeon he referred to me had no real expertise with regard to laparoscopic diagnoses.    Not only was Dr. Christoudias informative about my condition & explained in a way that was easy to understand, but he was able to get me into surgery in a timely manner. The surgery was performed flawlessly and my after surgery check-up with him showed no signs of the hernia coming back.    It was comforting knowing that I was able to find a surgeon as qualified as Dr. Christoudias was in making me healthy again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Dr. Stavros Christoudias under unexpected circumstances after needing emergency gallbladder surgery, so I didn’t have the opportunity to choose my surgeon or meet him beforehand. Looking back, I’m so grateful he was the one who took care of me.

From the moment we met, Dr. Christoudias had an exceptional bedside manner. He was kind, compassionate, incredibly down-to-earth, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel comfortable during a stressful situation. His care didn’t stop after surgery—he was extremely responsive to my post-op questions, which gave me so much peace of mind during my recovery.

It’s rare to find a surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring and approachable. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Christoudias was my surgeon, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of surgical care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Chistoudias was the perfect fit for my hernia surgery.  He explained everything to me prior to surgery.  He also let me know that he would be stitching the torn area besides putting in the mesh.  Very personable and made me feel very at ease.  I am very glad that I listened to my primary doctor, Dr. Nickles and went to Dr. Christoudias rather than someone else.

Highly Recommend Dr. Radvinsky, performed a gallbladder removal surgery on me after I was admitted to the ER at Pascack Valley Hospital. Dr. Radvinsky came in before surgery and explained the procedure. He has a great bedside manner and was prompt with the post-op appointment.

Kind, compassionate problem solver Dr Mansouri has a special mix of Kindness, Compassion, Calmness and Creative Intelligence. He has also built a staff with those same qualities including his PA Adam, Tara at the front desk who pleasantly cared for all my administrative needs and Mekalia his Surgical Coordinator. In summary what a great, efficient, compassionate team. Dr Mansouri found the causes of my multiple problems that 4 other experts had missed. He performed Robotic Laparoscopic surgery on me successfully. All I can say is God Bless Dr Mansouri and his staff, thank you for helping me when no one else could.

I was admitted to ER in terrible pain due to perforated colon from diverticulitis & sepsis. Very frightening for me but he was self assured & I just knew I was in good hands and I was! Woundup with colostomy, parastomal hernia, umbilical hernia, & inflamed appendix! I had complicated situation also going thru steroid withdrawal from severe skin issues for yrs. Dr Radvinsky was with me every step of way till I was well enough for colostomy reversal; no words for my gratitude, he’s my hero!!! The entire staff is awesome as well, God bless

amazing doctor! I was admitted to the ER a few weeks after a hysterectomy for localized pain. I was terrified when I was told I needed an emergency appendectomy since I was still recovering from a major surgery. Dr Radvinsky was SO kind and reassuring and patient with all my questions ( and tears). It's so rare to find a surgeon with this kind of bedside manor and empathy. He is a GEM! My experience with him and this surgery was truly seemless and he is a wonderful Dr!

I had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Radvinsky last week. His positivity, bedside manner and how soft spoken he is made me feel at ease pre and post op. Dr. Radvinsky explained what they would do, what could happen, what I should look out for, recovery time etc. He was super thorough and answered all of my questions. I was experiencing a lot of pain during a consultation visit and Dr. Radvinsky went above and beyond to make sure that I was seen and taken care of at the hospital. My gallbladder had to be removed and he was by my side the whole time. He showed up post op (it was thanksgiving week) to make sure I was ok and called me even on the weekend (on the holiday) to check in on my recovery. I wish that I could have Dr. Radvinsky handle all my medical issues because you can tell that he truly cares about his patients. Super grateful to be in his care and look forward to my post op visit. Would 1000% recommend Dr. Radvinsky and his group.

Amazing, Gifted, and Gentle Doctor!!! I have been a patient of Dr. Mansouri for about 4 years due to internal hemorrhoids which he has treated with rubber band ligation which is fairly painless and quick. He is the first rectal specialist who DID NOT suggest hemorrhoidectomy and I am so grateful. He is very, very gentle and is constantly assessing during the procedure my level of discomfort. e takes the time to answer all questions and concerns. Really don't bother seeing anyone else...he's the best and again incredibly gentle.
